lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad you're here to see.
The man with an education but no place to be.
A temporary contract is all the future holds.
Easy to get rid of you, not what we ve been told.

If you want a steady job, you'd better be the best.
Not at what you do or what you say, just better than the rest.
As long as they can ditch you when the market takes its fall.
As long as you can work and work and work to pay them all.


Ditch ‘em when the market falls
Work and work to pay them all
Where’s your future?

You have a family to feed? Want a place to live?
That's not our fault, not ours to relieve.
We need your cheap labour, not your service years.
There's more where you came from, falls on deaf ears.

Job security is a thing of the past.
You're not the first, you'll never be the last.
Give us your years, we'll repay you with change.
Your life is spent right here in chains.

Ditch ‘em when the market falls
Work and work to pay them all
Where’s your future?

You said you wanted freedom, well here you fucking go
You'll never own a goddamn thing, now get on with the show

Pay your bills your taxes and your health insurance too
While rent is getting higher there's no wage increase for you

Welcome to the ratrace, the best time of your life
Enjoy your stay, it's only everyday from 9 to 5

The rythm of the daily grind, the rythm of the whip
The only question on your lips: "Where's your future?"

Prices going up, unemployment even higher.
The man in the suit, he's nothing but a liar.
He'll promise you the world but when it comes to it.
He's nowhere to be found, turned your world to shit.

Now you're stuck with a house that you can't afford.
Due to regulations cutting into social norms.
There's a kid on the way who needs dinner too.
Tough luck my friend, this one’s on you!
